Lay It Out Events and Saving Grace announced Friday that they will merge the popular Balloons Over Bend with Saving Grace's Children's Festival. In a news release, Sandy Henderson from Lay It Out Events says since families have been enjoying both events for decades, it made sense to draw from the best of both events to create what is sure to be the number one family summer program for the region. The 2011 event will take place July 22nd through the 24th at Riverbend Park. Besides the colorful balloons in the air during the day and the Night Glow, there will be plenty of activities, music and food to make the event a real destination event for the summer.
